<br />Cost of Service• <br />Section 4 of the Agreement is amended as follows: <br />The cost of Food Waste Collection Services for FY 2008-2009 shall be $80.00 per ton for the <br />first 2,300 tons collected. The first 2,300 tons collected shall be known as the "Base Tonnage." <br />If the amount of material collected during the course of a FY exceeds the base tonnage, then the <br />per-ton cost of service for the tonnage collected beyond that shall be reduced by $20.00 per ton. <br />The cost of service for Animal Bedding Collection Services for FY 20008-2009 shall be a flat <br />rate of $42.00 per collection per month. For example, if a single site is collected three times <br />during the course of a month, this shall represent (3) collections billed at $42.00 each. The cost <br />of service for Animal Bedding Sites is independent of the amount (tonnage) of materials <br />collected. <br />When providing Food Waste Collection Services, when and if the Contractor uses compostable <br />liners, Contractor may charge County $0.70 per liner or bag. Charges for compostable liners will <br />be itemized as a separate line on the monthly invoice for services performed under this <br />Agreement. County and Contractor agree that this "per bag" or "per liner" fee shall represent a <br />fair approximation of the actual unit cost of the purchase price of the compostable bags or liner <br />plus a small handling fee. <br />The per-ton cost of service for Food Waste Collection for future Fiscal Years will be negotiated <br />annually, with any increase in the per-ton cost not to exceed an. inflation factor of three percent <br />(3%). This inflation factor, if any, shall also be applied to the cost of services for tonnage beyond <br />the base tons. Additionally, the base tonnage beyond which the County receives acost-per-ton price <br />break (2,300 tons for FY 2008-2009) shall be allowed to inflate annually, and this "base tonnage" <br />price break point beyond which the County receives a reduced cost of service shall be negotiated <br />between County and Contractor. <br />The cost of Animal Bedding Collection for future Fiscal Years will be negotiated annually, with any <br />increase not to exceed an inflation factor of three percent (3%). <br />The per-bag or per-liner cost for compostable Liners for future Fiscal Years will be negotiated <br />annually, with the intention of keeping the cost that the Contractor charges County in line with <br />Contractor's actual unit cost plus a small handling fee. The per-bag cost may increase or decrease <br />depending on the actual unit cost paid by Contractor. County may request documentation of <br />Contractor's actual costs at time the per-bag price is established each year. <br />Full Force and Effect <br />Except as amended by this Addendum, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. <br />2 <br />
